Amnesia // Luke Hemmings

Chapter 23

*Katrina's P.O.V.*

The moment I get home, I hop into the shower and take a hot relaxing bath. All this things, all these things that are happening to Luke. I couldn't be more than happy for him, but he's leaving. That's what makes me sad, the fact that after our relationship has deepened, he has to leave. I knew something bad would happen soon, not that this is necessarily bad. He's living his dream, what am I to do?

I let out a sigh as I take out the plug from the bath, and I dry myself then get dressed for bed. I'm sort of hurt of the fact that he's leaving and a bit angry. After all, we've been so happy together lately. But it isn't his fault that his band has a lot of talent. I hear a ding coming from my phone and I turn myself over and stretch to reach my phone that;s on the lamp desk.

"Hope you have a good night sleep :-) I love you x"

I ignore the message, what am I to do? I want to be happy, but I can't. I'm glad I faked my enthusiasm when he told me the news, I feel like if I were to react any way other, he would have been sad. Maybe he wouldn't have even gone. That would have ruined his career and his band would kick him out and find a new lead singer.

Stop, I need to stop. I need to just forget about him leaving. Maybe if I ignore him things well be a little bit easier on us both? Yeah, maybe. Let's just see if this goes through, but I don't want to hurt him, he is leaving for a couple of days. I just need to prove myself I can a last a few days without him, I don't want to do this. But, I have to.

...

*Luke's P.O.V."

For the last three days, I've been trying to contact Katrina, but she hasn't replied to any of texts, calls, voice mails, nothing. Is she mad at me? Is she going to break up with me? Worse, she found someone better than me she'll go out with once I'm gone. Oh no, this is bad. What do I do? Fuck. It's 10 p.m. and I'm still awake, did I do something wrong? Did she hear something about me?

I need to have assurance, but what could I do for her to talk to me? Wait, I know exactly what I can do! I'll sing to her, from outside of her house! I've seen this in movies, girls totally love it. But, what song? Shit, I go get my guitar and my binder full of song lyrics and the guitar chords for the songs. I fumble through the pages until I find the perfect song. That's it.

I carry my things, not that I'm carrying much. All I really have is my guitar, car keys, and a mini portable amplifier. I slowly walk out of the house and open the door to my car and I drive off. This will surely get her to talk to me, I know it will. Once I get to Katrina's house, I take out all of the things and I connect my guitar to the amplifier. As I finish connected the guitar, I realize that's lightly raining, not that I care at all.

How do I get her attention now? Do I throw rocks? Here goes nothing, I throw a couple of rocks. No response. Maybe a bigger rock? I continuously throw rocks until I see a faint shadow coming up to the window.

"Luke!" She yells from her window as she opens it.

"Hi." I wave, a smile on my face.

"What are you doing here?" She takes a look around "For god's sake, it's raining!"

"Just watch and listen." I say as I begin to play a few chords.

"Check yes Katrina

Are you with me?

Rain is falling down on the sidewalk

I won't go until you come outside

Check yes Juliet

Kill the limbo

I'll keep tossing rocks at your window

There's no turning back for us tonight." I sing, I notice how her face lights up as she remembers the song.

"Lace up your shoes

Ayo ayo

Here's how we do

Run baby run

Don't ever look back

They'll tear us apart if you give them the chance

Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be

Run baby run, forever we'll be

You and me

Check yes Katrina

I'll be waiting

Wishing, wanting yours for the taking

Just sneak out and don't tell a soul goodbye

Check yes Katrina

Here's the countdown:

3, 2, 1, now fall in my arms now

They can change the locks, don't let them change your mind"

I finish the song, only the see the beautiful smile she currently has on her face, I knew this would make her happy. I notice she's no longer standing by the window, but rather at her front door. She lets me in as she gives me a towel.

"So I'm guessing you liked it?" I ask, drying my hair that was originally in a quiff, but now patted down due to the rain.

"Liked it? I loved it!" She says, surprising me with a kiss.

"Wait, what?" I'm confused, I thought she was mad at me.

"What?" She lifts an eyebrow.

"I thought you were mad at me."

"Oh." She looks away.

"Why were you mad at me?" I ask, hoping the answer isn't one of the ones I thought about earlier.

"I- I was just upset to be honest. I was being a little selfish and I was sad that you were going to leave soon." She admits.

"Oh, babe, I'm sorry." I hug her, I don't mean for her to feel this way.

"It's fine." She wipes away a tear.

"Don't cry! Enough with the crying!" I put my sleeves up to her eyes and rub away some other tears that fall away. I look down onto my sleeve and I see some black substance.

"What's this?" I lift up the sleeve to show her.

"Oh, that's just mascara." She shrugs.

"Mascara? What's that?" I don't really know what anything girl related is.

"It's make up?"

"Wait, since when did you wear make up?" She doesn't need make up! She's absolutely gorgeous the way she is! Wait... I've forgotten that she used to use make up before the whole accident. Maybe she forgot how to use it after?

"Uhm since a few days ago, I wanted to try it out."

"Well, too bad. Don't wear make up, you're already beautiful. No girls should wear make up, it's tacky." I kiss her on her lips, making her smile. But, even if she does wear make up, I think she's the most beautiful person in the world.

"Luke, I love you." She says in between kisses.

"I love you too Katrina."

An hour later after talking to her, I go home. I come home to see I have a text from Michael

"We're leaving tomorrow at 12."
